Plot Summary:
Champion boxer Tommy Nelson is accused of killing his manager after a fight. To hide from the police until he can find the real killer, Tommy injects himself with an invisibility formula. Dr. Gray warns him that the formula could drive him mad if he stays invisible for too long. Tommy Nelson then goes to two private detectives, Bud Alexander and Lou Francis, to help investigate the murder. By getting Lou in the boxing ring with invisible Tommy's help, they try to expose gangster Morgan as the real killer.

Trivia (from imdb.com): (1)This was originally intended to be a straight film in the Invisible Man series. After the huge grosses from "ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN"(1948), the script was rewritten to make it another thrill comedy with Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. As it happened, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello met an invisible man in the earlier film, but it was a different character.(2)The last names of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello's characters, Bud Alexander and Lou Francis, are actually their real middle names.(3)The picture in Dr. Gray's laboratory of Griffin, the inventor of the invisibility serum, is a photo of Claude Rains, who played the title role in "THE INVISIBLE MAN"(1933)
Movie Review: "I saw two men...carrying no man."
Summary: 4 Stars
By the 1950's, Abbott and Costello's film career was beginning to slide. Fortunately, "A&C MEET THE INVISIBLE MAN" is a bright spot among these later films. Since it seemed unlikely that the scare comedy of "MEET FRANKENSTEIN" could be topped, someone wisely decided to make this more of a mystery-comedy with a sci-fi twist thrown in. And it works. Bud and Lou are joined by a great supporting cast including Arthur Franz (as the invisible one), Sheldon Leonard, and William Frawley (very funny as a befuddled detective!)Movie Review: ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME THE BOYS GET A PAT ON THE BACK?
Summary: 4 Stars
As an avid fan I love watching these guys go from one flick to the next but I feel this movie is about as well acted in many ways as the Frankenstein flick. Great supporting actors make this comedy classic even better. Love this one.
